A seminar titled “War Crimes in Ukraine: Testimony and Documentation of Evidence” will be held next Thursday, May 4th at 4:00pm. The sessions will take place in the Graduate Hall of the Philosophy of Law Department, in the Faculty of Law at the University of Valencia (Tarongers Campus).
According to professor José Elías Esteve, director of the seminar, the purpose of the seminar is to shed light, via direct testimony, on the war crimes being committed in Ukraine. Tetiana Zhukova, a former student of the Master’s in Human Rights, Democracy and International Justice, will present the documentation work that she has been carrying out with the Human Rights Centre ZMINA, an organisation that specialises in the documentation of torture, deportation and forced disappearances. The seminar will detail the process of evidence collection by the organisation, which, in its recent missions to the territory, has documented cases of torture, deportation and forced disappearance in the unoccupied region of Kharkov. Furthermore, the sessions will include the testimony of Iryna Lunova, a Ukrainian witness from Kharkov whose apartment was destroyed by Russian missiles.
This event, organised in collaboration with the Institute of Human Rights at the University of Valencia, is part of the work of the Legal Clinic for Social Justice and serves as a training activity for Master’s and Doctorate students of Human Rights, Democracy and International Justice.
Attendance of the seminar, both by video conference and in-person, is open to the public, but for security reasons, prior registration is required.
